Hello all, I am made a menu item for the addressbook and I am trying to figure out how to target a specific phone number (the one that the user is selecting) similer to the device dialer behavior.

The menu item works and fires my code and I figured out how to pull the phone number from the phone dialer and the recent calls list. However the addressbook is more complex because it has multiple numbers and I have no idea how to extract the selected number in this case. Please see my code below that currently works for the dialer and recent call list.

import net.rim.blackberry.api.menuitem.ApplicationMenuItem;
import net.rim.blackberry.api.menuitem.ApplicationMenuItemRepository;

public class MainMenuHandler extends ApplicationMenuItem {
	MyListener m_oListener;
	
	public MainMenuHandler(int order, MyListener pListener){
		super(order);
		m_oListener = pListener;
	}

	public Object run(Object context) {
		
		// check what context fired this event.
		if (context instanceof net.rim.blackberry.api.phone.phonelogs.PhoneCallLog) {
            net.rim.blackberry.api.phone.phonelogs.PhoneCallLog call = (net.rim.blackberry.api.phone.phonelogs.PhoneCallLog)context;
            String num = call.getParticipant().getAddressBookFormattedNumber();
            if(num.length() >= 3 && num.length() <= 12) {
            	m_oListener.ProcessPhone(num);
            }
		}
		
		// When the phone dialer menu triggers we only get a string with the number. How easy is that!
		if (context instanceof String) {
            String num = context.toString();
            if(num.length() >= 3 && num.length() <= 12) {
            	m_oListener.ProcessPhone(num);
            }
		}
		

// !!!!!!!!!!!!!! THIS IS WHERE I WANT TO READ THE SELECTED ADDRESSBOOK NUMBER !!!!!!!!!!!!! 

		return null;
	}

	public String toString() {
		return "Test phone number.";
	}
		
    // Register the instance of the menuItem with the system
    public void registerInstance() {
        ApplicationMenuItemRepository.getInstance().addMenuItem(ApplicationMenuItemRepository.MENUITEM_PHONELOG_VIEW,this);
        ApplicationMenuItemRepository.getInstance().addMenuItem(ApplicationMenuItemRepository.MENUITEM_PHONE,this);
        ApplicationMenuItemRepository.getInstance().addMenuItem(ApplicationMenuItemRepository.MENUITEM_ADDRESSCARD_VIEW,this);
    }
    
    // UN-Register the instance of the menuItem with the system
    public void unRegisterInstance() {
        ApplicationMenuItemRepository.getInstance().removeMenuItem(ApplicationMenuItemRepository.MENUITEM_PHONELOG_VIEW,this);
        ApplicationMenuItemRepository.getInstance().removeMenuItem(ApplicationMenuItemRepository.MENUITEM_PHONE,this);
        ApplicationMenuItemRepository.getInstance().removeMenuItem(ApplicationMenuItemRepository.MENUITEM_ADDRESSCARD_VIEW,this);
    }
}
